Traditional Coast Salish man with boy. "The Welcome Posts depicts the Traditional Coast Salish Man with outstretched hands gesturing that visitors are welcome to enter and share with the people. The other Welcome Post would depict the wife, mother holding a child showing the families accept the visitors and welcome to come sit and share in meal and share news and stories."

"Traditional Coast Salish teachings come from both parents, learned from Elders. Passed on from generations."
